A famous and widely bootlegged concert by Bob Dylan at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester on 17 May 1966 was mistakenly labeled the 'Royal Albert Hall' the place you see here. Dylan did perform here, it just wasn't the famous 'Judas' concert.
Some highlights from this joint. September 1963 The Beatles and The Rolling Stones performed on the same bill for the only time. - 1966, Bob Dylan performs. - 1969, Pink Floyd performed at the Albert Hall and received a life-time ban for setting two cannons off during their show. - Jimi Hendrix performed on 18 and 24 February 1969 with The Jimi Hendrix Experience. - Janis Joplin performed on 21 April 1969 with her Kozmic Blues Band. - Led Zeppelin performed on 9 January 1970, footage of which was filmed for a planned documentary. Though no documentary was ever made due to the poor quality of the film, the material was re-mastered over thirty years later and virtually the entire show was released on the Led Zeppelin DVD

It took 7 minutes for Kevin O'Reilly to call in and correctly answer the questions asked. Little did he know Gareth himself was taking the call. A brand new signed Foundation board is on the way Kevin!

All in a days work...
Osiris sent over the newest samples of the Corey Osiris/Foundation shoe.
Thanks Osiris!
On the way down to the warehouse to send Gareth out a package I noticed the pallet of Fiberlams that just came in.
Good looking out Watson...
I noticed this stash of Sierra signed boards hidden away in the warehouse. Ask your sales rep how to get a hold of one...
Then I sent Gareth a sample set of Ruckus Trucks...

Today Zarosh sent us a painting. I had to post it! His characters rule!...Bird Shark?....He is still pouring a skate spot that will be a place for all skateboard nomads to hit up for years to come. Find Zaeosh and you will find the spot.

Chris Nieratko sent this in..
On February 10th, NJ Skateshop sponsored a contest at Shields Skatepark in Fleminton, NJ while snow fell outside...
Included in his email was a link to some contest footage. Check out this clip

It's Sunday- (Add Morrissey lyric/play on words here, like it's not the hottest ticket in town and hasn't been for years now, even to the point where skate mags are all doing them for cover blurbs) -and eveyone is out skating in sunny So-Cal.

Diego and Mabel visited the Parque Nacional de los Glaciares, Calafate, Santa Cruz, Argentina. La Patagonia. Which is basically Glacier National Park in Patagonia. And we are not talking about winter jackets.
Diego made a cool collage of this huge glacier, click here to see it BIGGER.
(You can download it and turn it horizontally to see it better.)
Sweet iceberg.
Epic glacier action.
It's probably colder than a witch's tit down there.

The verse goes: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. You can see how the believers argue about what the verse means right here, or what the people against the Bible think...

Diego went back home to visit his family and his beautiful homeland. He found his Beautiful wife, Mabel there too. Muy Bonita!
Those are some messed up ships.
The Basillica de Lujan.
Something titled "Estantes." He has more coming later!

Only a short drive away. This woman Laura, was spotted on TV. Why does it matter? She used to work at Tum-Yeto and helped Toy Machine do clothing stuff. So one time... (Text edited for your protection) ...breaks off inside you and, well, needless to say, Jean-Claude was not surprised.

I love sessions that have tons of people there...
I love shooting photos of people looking at rails because you the viewer always wonder what he's thinking about...
I love when the only photo I show is the warm up trick.
I love when airplanes fly by and snake the skater because we all know thats a huge distraction when skating a rail you can sack on...
Sums up the session...

Two common Myths that you should stop worrying about:
Myth#1: Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight: You can get eyestrain and have difficulty focusing when trying to read in poor lighting, but these symptoms have no permanent effect on eyesight. One current theory holds that nearsightedness (myopia) might be caused by reading in dim light or holding books too close to the face. But consider this: rates of myopia are increasing and are higher now then they were centuries ago when people read by candlelight. What's more, the BMJ researchers found hundreds of expert opinions that conclude that reading in dim light doesn't permanently hurt your eyes.
(I say it is still not that great of an idea to do it though... -ed)
Myth#2: Shaving causes hair to grow back faster or coarser: No, it does not. This popular notion was disproved as early as 1928 and more recent studies have confirmed that shaving has no effect on hair growth (or regrowth), write the BMJ investigators. They speculate that when shaved hair regrows, it lacks the fine taper seen at the end of unshaven hair, making it appear coarser. And the fact that it hasn't been exposed to light may make it seem darker than other hair.
Scope Swanks Rager Photos...

During the holidays I visited a shop called Exit Real World located in Salem, Oregon. They carry a large selection of TumYeto products so I'm featuring them on the site. I know you're probably wondering if the Ultimate Warrior actually works there. Well he doesn't but the girl that was in the photo was kinda smiling weird and I didn't want to get in trouble or something by posting that picture of her. So I replaced her with the Ultimate Warrior cheering next to Matt Hanson.
